So, poor old Edward finally passed away yesterday. The poor guy. He was so brilliant, so insightful, and so frequently wearing his sense of deep psychological wounding right there on his sleeve.
It’s not easy being a lightning rod, I know. But he hung in there, proclaiming his values against all critics from all sides.
The most outrageous thing that anyone did to him was the pro-Israeli extremist agitator or agitators who went to great lengths to “disprove” that Edward had any legitimate links to Palestine. But I read a great piece someplace by the Israeli psychologist Benjamin Bet-Hallahmi who said it was truly ridiculous that any Jewish Israelis– who had come “back” to Israel from all over the world–should be the ones trying to besmirch Edward’s claims to his links with the land.
BBH was quite right!
My deep sympathies to Edward’s wife, his kids, his sisters, and the rest of his family. May he now rest in the peace that was so brutally denied to him for nearly all his life.

Plamegate Update: Senate Dems call for special counsel
http://www.democrats.org/blog/display/00010052.html
The Associated Press is reporting that the Justice Department has opened a full investigation into the White House’s alleged leak of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity.
Do you trust John Ashcroft to conduct this investigation in a thorough and nonpartisan manner?
The [Justice] department notified the counsel’s office about 8:30 p.m. Monday that it was launching an investigation but said the White House could wait until the next morning to notify staff and direct them to preserve relevant material, McClellan said.
Since when does the Justice Department give people a several-hours head start to destroy evidence before an investigation begins?
